Twitter Reacts To Raghuram Rajan’s Departure Annoucement

RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan ended months of feverish speculation by announcing that he wouldn’t be seeking a second term in office. In typical Rajan style, the announcement was low-key and formal – instead of announcing his departure in a packed press conference, Rajan chose to write a letter to his colleagues at RBI. And the public reaction was immediate – while many bemoaned the loss of one of India’s brightest minds from its shores, a small minority didn’t seem all that displeased at his departure.

Many implied that his exit was politically motivated.

The 'Rexit" of Rajan proves just one thing- no intellectually independent Indian who has mind of his/her own has space. World stage better.
